Paul Andrews The Curse of the Komodo starts on an isolated island near Hawaii as an army special forces operation is secretly taking place which ends up with them all being killed by a huge genetically engineered Komodo. The army have gotten cold feet over the experiment & orders the project leader Professor Nathan Phipps (William Langlois) & his assistant Dr. Dawn Porter (Gail Harris) back to the island to destroy all evidence of the experiment that was designed to produce huge genetic mutations to used as weapons against the enemy... Meanwhile thieves Drake (Paul Logan), Tiffany (Melissa Brasselle) & Reece (Cam Newlim) make good their escape in a chopper after robbing a casino but they run into bad weather & their pilot Jack (Tim Abell) has to land anywhere he can & in one of the film only type coincidences they land on Komodo island. They meet up with Phipps his daughter Rebecca (Glori-Anne Gilbert) & Porter who are protected by armed guards Jason (Jay Richardson), Hanson (Ted Monte) & Blake (J.P. Davis). Things quickly spiral out of control as the huge Komodo begins to systematically eat everyone in sight, will any of them survive?Directed by Jim Wynorski as Jay Andrews The Curse of the Komodo is one awful creature feature & just a downright terrible film. The script by Steve Latshaw is predictably rubbish, the rules for this type of film aren't hard to follow are they? You have your isolated location & stranded monster food, there's the giant dinosaur, genetically engineered creature or alien or whatever to eat the cast members one-by-one & the corrupt military involvement to introduce lots of guns & weaponry, simple right? Well not to Mr. Latshaw & Wynorski as The Curse of the Komodo fails in every department, there isn't one positive thing I can say about this film. The character's are boring cardboard stereotypical clichés the least about whom the better. The Komodo barely does anything & why did the military create giant Komodo lizards in the first place? Maybe they could have genetically engineered a huge hamster or something docile & cuddly, it would have been easier to control if anything went wrong, right? The film is really slow, dull & very boring as it's over forty minutes before the Komodo even shows up (not counting the opening sequence). The attack scenes are dull, unexciting & repetitive as the giant Komodo just stands there as our cast of humans just shoot at it for what seems like ages as their guns never run out of ammo. I have an intense dislike for films like The Curse of the Komodo, it's boring, poorly written & it's a film of absolutely no redeeming qualities. If the military had no conscience about napalming the island why didn't they do that to start with instead of sending in two scientists? It would have saved a lot of time, trouble & pain for everyone involved especially us the poor viewer having to sit through this crap!Director Wynorski has made over sixty of these low budget horror/sci-fi films & to be fair he knows how to make a film, unfortunately he doesn't know how to make a good film. The special effects are terrible, the plotting is awful, the logic is absurd, it rips off various other films & as a whole The Curse of the Komodo is seriously crap. Forget about any sort of gore or violence, the Komodo only eats one person on screen & even then just to their legs.Technically the film isn't too bad but it's all rather bland & forgettable. The acting is pretty bad & I didn't think the women were good looking enough either, Anne Gilbert gets her breasts out but that's about it.The Curse of the Komodo is total rubbish, it provides no entertainment value whatsoever & there are far better creature feature films out there. This is not a sequel to & has nothing to do with the film Komodo (1999) which is far better than this. According to the IMDb Komodo Vs. Cobra (2005) directed by Wynorski is in post-production, I shudder at the mere thought of it.

straight_shooter_18 I just have to comment on this movie! I actually watched it with 2 of my friends and we couldn't help laugh at every single scene in it. Its a disaster as an action movie, but as a comedy this movie is an A-class one...There are just too many plot holes, you don't know where to start, and the komodo looks much like a clay lizard incorporated in the movie using stop motion animation. It just runs after the characters and they keep shooting at it (with unlimited clips in their guns by the way). When the characters are stuck in a corner, it will stand at a distance and enjoy the line of fire as bullets Pierce its scales, but if they are running away and shooting at it, it continues to run after them for some reason and the bullet holes never appear in its scales yet again for some reason and then a zombie appears at the end of the movie and you have no idea where it came from or what the hell its doing in the movie!!....Just take it from me, if you are ridiculously bored or drunk, gather some friends and watch this movie....for the laughs, and for the breasts scene!

thespecialist642000 Curse of Komodo... Try Curse this Trash. The dialogue is pathetic, the acting is terrible and the FX are not even close to being a small-shot. The ending was nonsense, but then again, so was the movie. It's awful and is not good enough to even make onto the cinema screen, let alone, make a test screening equal ten out of ten. If, somehow, you wish to watch this, I suggest you take a nap, and wake up and watch a real movie. Then RENT this out and see for yourself why nearly everybody here has given this movie a one out of ten... Honestly, if IMDb could allow any number to rate this movie, mine would be in the far negatives. It is that bad.Buy or Rent?? If you see somebody considering watching this movie at a video store, I give you permission to beat them over the head.

KenVeryBigLiar The only thing i can say about this film is that it's awful in every aspect. The script is terrible. The story is a poor excuse and the dialogs are very badly written. The actors look like amateurs. Two actresses were selected probably because they have large breasts (and only because of that), since their acting skills are as good as the Komodo's. And even the visual effects are surprisingly bad, since this film is quite recent. There is almost no interaction between the Komodo and the actors. The result is a movie with not a single point of interest to show for.Even if your are fan of this genre of movie, my advice is look elsewhere.
